  Pixel Polly Basic Question

  Posted by Bryan Chandler on March 21, 2011 at 3:49 am

  How do you start the Pixel Polly effect later in an animation? Right now when I apply the preset to a pre-composed animation, it wants to shatter starting from key frame 1. I’d like to finish the animation, and then start my shattering. Is there a settings to choose what keyframe and/or time you want the effect to start working? Thanks!

  You can split the precomp layer [link] where you want CC Pixel Polly to begin, and then apply the effect to the second layer.
